Stupid school
I hate exams... but I hate the time between studying (i.e. mad cramming session) and actual time to write the exam. I really don't think I'm going to understand anything else or be able to stuff anymore information in my head between now and 6. But there's nothing to do until then except worry pointlessly. I'm not expecting to do well on this exam anyways, not when I opened my notes on monday and the textbook yesterday. But half of it is biological systems and evolution and I can spew so much of that junk that it might be enough to pass this one.
A midterm pales in comparison to my two finals next week. I've got to memorize a shitload of conditions for when to use which statistical test for what kind of data and what type of sample and etc and etc. Do I understand how a scatter plot regresses toward the mean? Of course not... but apparently if I can find the probability then I'm all set. Need to get 80 on lab exam and 80 on lecture exam to get 80 in course. And hell do I need some class to boost my mark in.
Course advisors all say they're going off on vacation in July... but its not july yet, so where the hell are they all? It doesn't help when they say 'contact by email' but don't reply to emails. If all else fails, faking a breakdown in the registration office will always get results. Must graduate... wear robe, get pictures, get expensive piece of paper... then think about jobs and such.
I'm very much in need of brain dead time right now. A week or so of just sitting around and not thinking - I remember around the beginning of summer when I was complaining of boredom, yeah I'll take the boredom over omg!panic!exams! And I still haven't returned the stuff I bought... when I had time to go shopping. And I need to lose weight, but that's a given. And get my hair cut. I think I'll just walk into some salon and tell them to surprise me.
Still don't have Stella Deus, ebay hates me that much. I'll just fork over the $60 and buy it from eb or something. Or used. I'm going to sit in the lecture hall and bask in the impending doom of having to write an essay on an exam. Seriously when was the last time I wrote an essay... first year? When the TA flat out refused to give people a failing grade? Blargh.
